Hello everyone! I hope you are all staying well during this challenging time.

I wanted to check to see how you all are handling staff who have been exposed to a positive COVID-19 person. If the said exposed staff person is exhibiting no symptoms, are you still having them reframe from working for fourteen days. Our staff are very concerned about missing that amount of work and I’m not sure how we’d continue paying them and the staff who is replacing them, it’s unfortunately not in a supported living agency’s budget. Without a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and the short amount of time without work they wouldn’t qualify for BWC. We are going to lose a large portion of our staff if they are all quarantined for two weeks at a time. Please share your thoughts and/or policies on this matter. Thank you so much!
